Footnotes

1. John 14:19 tn Grk “Yet a little while, and.”
2. John 14:20 tn Grk “will know in that day.”sn At that time could be a reference to the parousia (second coming of Christ). But the statement in 14:19, that the world will not see Jesus, does not fit. It is better to take this as the postresurrection appearances of Jesus to his disciples (which has the advantage of taking in a little while in v. 19 literally).
3. John 14:21 tn Or “keeps.”
4. John 14:21 tn Grk “obeys them, that one is the one who loves me.”
5. John 14:21 tn Grk “And the one.” Here the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated to improve the English style.
6. John 14:21 tn Or “will disclose.”
7. John 14:22 tn Grk “(not Iscariot).” The proper noun (Judas) has been repeated for clarity and smoothness in English style.sn This is a parenthetical comment by the author.
8. John 14:22 tn Grk “said to him.”
9. John 14:22 tn Or “disclose.”sn The disciples still expected at this point that Jesus, as Messiah, was going to reveal his identity as such to the world (cf. 7:4).
10. John 14:23 tn Grk “answered and said to him.”
11. John 14:23 tn Or “will keep.”
12. John 14:23 tn Grk “we will come to him and will make our dwelling place with him.” The context here is individual rather than corporate indwelling, so the masculine singular pronoun has been retained throughout v. 23. It is important to note, however, that the pronoun is used generically here and refers equally to men, women, and children.
13. John 14:24 tn Or “does not keep.”
14. John 14:24 tn Or “the message.”
15. John 14:25 tn Or “while remaining” or “while residing.”
16. John 14:26 tn Or “Helper” or “Counselor”; Grk “Paraclete,” from the Greek word παράκλητος (paraklētos). See the note on the word “Advocate” in v. 16 for a discussion of how this word is translated.
17. John 14:26 tn Grk “that one will teach you.” The words “that one” have been omitted from the translation since they are redundant in English.
18. John 14:26 tn Grk “all things.”
19. John 14:26 tn Grk “all things.”
